Just Before Dawn Ratings & Reviews
- Nickyjames17 oktober 2025a great late night slasher. I've seen it probably 5 times over as many years. The characters are interesting and you root for the antagonist. Cozy movie that I bet none of your friends have seen.
- Kevin Ward1 juli 2025This is one of those films that shows up on a lot of “under-seen slasher” lists. Ultimately, I was kind of disappointed by it though. If I had seen it back in the 80’s I could see holding it in higher regard, but watching it now it felt a little slow and little run-of-the-mill. Glad to finally cross off the watchlist, though. Certainly worth checking out for horror-slasher aficionados.
